Bitcoin's upward price trajectory has slowed, but the cryptocurrency hasn't lost much ground after setting a new all-time high yesterday above $76,000.
At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price has settled around $75,400—up 1.4% on the day, but about 1% shy of the high water mark it set yesterday afternoon, according to CoinGecko data. In the past 24 hours, traders moved more than $128 million worth of BTC.
To put that in perspective, there are only two other days when more Bitcoin has changed hands in a 24-hour period since 2013—as far back as price and volume data goes on CoinGecko.
On January 4, 2021, BTC saw its rally cut short by a $5,000 drop in price and triggered $178 billion worth of trading. Then, on May 20, 2021, when the so-called "Black Wednesday" flash crash sent Bitcoin plummeting as low as $30,415 and knocked $500 billion wiped off the global crypto market capitalization. That day, investors moved more than $141 billion worth of BTC.
Analysts have been quick to say that the post-election jubilation over Donald Trump's victory could be curtailed if the Republican doesn't follow through on his campaign promises, like creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve and forcing out SEC Chair Gary Gensler.
"Investors are watching closely, hoping that pro-crypto promises made during recent conferences will be fulfilled, supporting the current rally," wrote BRN analyst Valentin Fournier in a note shared with Decrypt. "Trump’s election presents a strong bullish case, with expectations that incoming rate cuts and global stimulus will further lift the economy and support Bitcoin’s performance."
From traders' perspective, the upcoming Federal Open Markets Committee meeting has a 99% chance of ending in another 25-50 point basis point cut, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.
